Genetic determinism in the Finnish upper secondary school biology textbooks

Nordina: Nordic Studies in Science Education, 2015
Genetics is a fast-developing field and it has been argued that genetics education is lagging behind. Genetics education has, for example, been suspected of indoctrinating strong genetic determinism. As the updating of the national upper secondary school

Quantitative genetics theory for genomic selection and efficiency of genotypic value prediction in open-pollinated populations

Scientia Agricola
: Quantitative genetics theory for genomic selection has mainly focused on additive effects. This study presents quantitative genetics theory applied to genomic selection aiming to prove that prediction of genotypic value based on thousands of single ...

Error threshold in the evolution of diploid organisms

, 1996
The effects of error propagation in the reproduction of diploid organisms are studied within the populational genetics framework of the quasispecies model. The dependence of the error threshold on the dominance parameter is fully investigated.

Seedling salt tolerance in tomato [PDF]

, 2011
Soils with higher concentrations of salt are becoming more and more a constraint for many crops to obtain high yields. Wild tomato species, adapted to adverse environments, are a potential reservoir for genes underlying quantitative trait loci (QTL ...

Detecting selection-induced departures from Hardy-Weinberg proportions

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2009
Viability selection influences the genotypic contexts of alleles and leads to quantifiable departures from Hardy-Weinberg proportions. One measure of these departures is Wright's inbreeding coefficient (F), where observed heterozygosity is compared with ...

Selection responses of means and inbreeding depression for female fecundity in Drosophila melanogaster suggest contributions from intermediate-frequency alleles to quantitative trait variation [PDF]

, 2007
The extent to which quantitative trait variability is caused by rare alleles maintained by mutation, versus intermediate-frequency alleles maintained by balancing selection, is an unsolved problem of evolutionary genetics.

Quantitative genetics theory for genomic selection and efficiency of breeding value prediction in open-pollinated populations

Scientia Agricola, 2016
To date, the quantitative genetics theory for genomic selection has focused mainly on the relationship between marker and additive variances assuming one marker and one quantitative trait locus (QTL).

Allele interaction--single locus genetics meets regulatory biology. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Since the dawn of genetics, additive and dominant gene action in diploids have been defined by comparison of heterozygote and homozygote phenotypes.

Genome assemblies of 11 bamboo species highlight diversification induced by dynamic subgenome dominance

Nature Genetics
Polyploidy (genome duplication) is a pivotal force in evolution. However, the interactions between parental genomes in a polyploid nucleus, frequently involving subgenome dominance, are poorly understood.
